Real Social Media is Consumer not marketer controlled.
Skipping from campaign to result omits the core of social
marketing: the consumer relationship.
Consumers control social media.

As Quantity Becomes Quality, Tactics Becomes Assets
Marketers must focus on aligning their interests with consumer motivations in order to secure consumer investment in their brand.
They should manage creating relationships that can be mobalized to drive awareness, engagement and word of mouth.
Which provides tactical results in sales and marketing processes, and improved results.
www.usefularts.us23
Wait, How Can a Social Media Profile Be Considered More Effective Than An Ad?
Consider what are pre-requisites to be credible:– B2B buyers expect to find Linked In profiles of sales execs.
They don’t buy based on them, but they’ll default to those know or can validate.
– B2B firms may not have to have blogs, but agencies who serve them do.
– Sure you have a website, but without a twitter handle you’re not a noun.
Pre-requisits don’t generate results; their absence denies them.

Results Are Still Our Bottom Line

Social Media in Business is Strategic
Social media without a strategy is good for learning and fun, but not business success.
Give it a home in departments that deliver value.Use their models to establish their tactical value chain.
Keep a focus on the investment your consumer make, always look to maximize their equity.

By Section of Site Visited During Session.
By Search Phrase Type (Visitor Intent)
Measure Social Media as Its Own Segment

www.usefularts.us51
Advanced Tactics
Use Campaign Tagging and Sneaking Analytics Code on Social Networks for more data.
If you don’t have a lead system, consider scripting to capture analytics cookies and pass their values to your CRM.
www.usefularts.us52
Don’t Fall for False Exactitude.
Many social networks have sketchy analytics.
Even the best web analytics are directional, though they are systematic.
Test for statistical significance to be sure.
www.usefularts.us53
Social Analytics Aggregation Will Emerge.
www.usefularts.us54
Dare to Refute ROI with Value on Investment
Outcomes (awareness and sentiment) are non-financial but can be valued.
Brand & culture benefit is totally off the books.
Financial measures are possible, but are necessarily incomplete. Focusing only on them creates blind spots and opportunity costs.
